This is going to be brilliant and a lot of fun, so definitely come join us! We’ll be chatting all things epic fantasy while we celebrate the launch of @justinleeanderson.com’s The Damned King! If nothing else, come back me up when I yell at Justin for being so mean to his characters.

Was listening to latest @hugogirlpodcast.bsky.social on drive to work this morning - it is about Diamond Age - which I have been meaning to reread, it has been a long time since I last read. Though is it just too much for a holiday read? Hmm.

A person sitting on the back of a sea serpent, reading comics. The sea serpent is peering over their shoulder to read as well. Text reads: "Comic Pop-Up. POP Coffee, 22 Grindlay St, Edinburgh. August 10th, 11am-4pm. Browse self-published zines & comics, and meet local independent creators! Ask for the 'comic discount' to get 10% off your drinks, on August 10th only!"

In Edinburgh this weekend? Quindrie Press is holding a mini comic pop-up event at POP Coffee, just off Lothian Road, on Sunday August 10th! There'll be a whole host of Quindrie artists and you'll even be able to get a discount on POP's speciality coffees. See you there! 🫖🐉

Friends caught this yesterday on my recommendation, they said "good and unusual. tell your goth friends to check it out (especially with the show in the banshee)"

TTW you are going on holiday soon, so half your brain is taken up by trying to decide what to read (maybe a reread?). Despite the fact you've got plans and won't get as much reading done as you think!

so people will buy little treats that make them happy because their daily lives are just fucking terrible. Like, we truly do not acknowledge how fucking stressful and shitty living is now, it's been so normalized. Market something with this extremely nihilistic "fuck it, I'm gonna die poor anyway"

A black and white comic. A young witch is hard at work in her garden. "Boss?" she intones to an older witch behind her. "Problem?" the older witch responds. "Yeah," the young witch replies. The young witch pulls out a mandragora root that appears to be surly. Instead of screaming, it grunts. "Weird, right?" says the young witch to her mentor. "Mhmm," the older witch grunts, in agreement.

Sometimes a mandragora root just has bad vibes. New public post up on Patreon. www.patreon.com/posts/mandra...

No worries. Sounds like you had a better turnout today.

Tried out the larger pocket dragon pattern this morning and I think I am going to be obsessed with matching up dragon colors with spike colors. (There'll be more this weekend!)

Nice!

One odd thing is that because of the UK verification bullshit, I'm seeing avatars being fuzzed out, presumably because they are so dangerous to old men? I mean why do I need to scan my face (using a shitty system that won't work), when my avatar is unimpressed me!

Mini con on August 9th from 10:30-4pm at the Library. Bath Central Library 19-23 The Podium Bath, BA1 5AN United Kingdom

On Saturday, I'm going to be at the mini-con in Bath Library from 11am-1pm for folks. Come say hi. It's a children's event, primarily, so bring the kids. I'm going to give away as many of my old Star Wars comps as I can.

Couple of friends just been to see you. Said your show was unusual and good.

Some good news this morning!

Cool. He has a load of soothing works to explore too.

currently listening to music for sleep's "infinite tape loops: from the sea of changes", which as the name suggests is soothing, chilled out, looping ambient.

Don't know if it'll make a difference, but worth a go!

just went from having had the exact right amount of caffeine to being over-caffeinated and I swear I could feel my brain acting like a car driving past "creative and productive" and instead stopping a little later at "insane"

Edinburgh this time of year is rough. I've been to shows with low turn out that were fantastic and should have had a wider audience. I saw Polis doing a show a couple of years ago and he was great. This year's show is 1st on my to do list this year. Please share his post!

Love your work, so it's a pleasure to see you.

More than 2-3 audience members would be great for the rest of my run, #EdFringe goers 🥹🙏

It's FREE, queer and freaky.

I made some new friends this week.

Last one of these I did was one of the wee London ones, you were there tabling, and we went to pub after. Its great to see the equivalent pop up here, definitely feels like a cool local scene been building last few years.
